2 Kings 5:19 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

A little way. — Heb., a kibrâh of ground (Genesis 35:16). It seems to mean “a length of ground,” “a certain distance,” without defining exactly how far. Had it been a parasang, as the Syriac renders, Gehazi could not have overtaken the company so easily.

2 Kings 5:19

19 And he said unto him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a littlee way.
